The way God does things is that he does a work on the inside before He can work on the outside. That speaks to the church today folks, in order for God to do a work in our world He must first of all do a work in His church.

Somebody is listening and watching
Ezra 3 7/8/07
I am preaching through the little book of Ezra. Last Sunday we studied about a couple of principles found in this book that must be followed if we are to see a movement from God. We talked about two things that usually happen prior to a national

They tell us we see two things happening when revival is about to come to a nation. No. 1, there will be a marked increase in conversions; people getting saved. No. 2, there is a changing of the moral climate of the nation.

Revival in our day
Ezra 1 7/1/07
It has been asked if America would ever see a real movement of God in such a way that we could call it a revival. I really don’t know whether we will ever experience revival as a nation or not but I can see little traits of revival in various places. They tell

Is the virgin birth necessary?
Luke 1: 26 - 38 11/15/06

Esther 6 10/18/06
There is a Scripture found in Proverbs, I’m sure you have heard many times that reads, “Boast not thyself of tomorrow for you know not what a day may bring forth.” That is so true and I have seen it illustrated many times in my ministry.
